I Think We’re Alone Now
Director: Reed Morano (“Meadowland,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”)
Cast: Peter Dinklage, Elle Fanning
Details: Going from celebrated cinematographer to director, Reed Morano hit it out of the park with Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” which she helmed the first three episodes of along with executive producing the series. Now she returns to the film world with this post-apocalyptic tale which reportedly doesn’t elaborate on how the world ends but rather on the psychology of those who are left whilst offering both social satire and a meditation on loneliness.
“Game of Thrones” alum Peter Dinklage seems to be the only human left alive, living in a small and empty town where he methodically goes from house to house to collect batteries and other useful items and bury the dead. Content in his solitude, things change when Grace (Elle Fanning) interlopes into his world – her history and motives are obscure, and she wants to stay.
